Wire choice
#22
I did the same. Twisted it using a drill. The hard part for me was when you need to strip it. Untwisting the ends and make a clean strip. I try to keep it twisted all the way up to the pins and straight through the socket and not looping around it. Keeping it twisted and working with it is challenging. Because Teflon is so slippery.
I usually use stranded 18awg for the power tubes and down to 20awg for the preamp. It is overkill as I can usually use 20awg all the way through but it's just the guage have been using all along.

Maybe I will go back to Teflon for future builds as it is very stiff and will keep its shape.
